Lapland is located at the northern tip of Scandinavia spanning across Norway, Sweden, Finland and Russia; is an area of outstanding beauty providing activities and experiences for all regardless of age.

Whether you are young or just young at heart – there are plenty of activities such as:

Father Christmas visits – take a trip to see Santa and his elf helpers in the heart of Lapland forest. You can hand deliver your Christmas wishes and see all the reindeers too.

Downhill skiing – there are two main resorts within Finnish Lapland – Yllas and Levi. Each has wide expanses of slopes to allow skiing for all abilities to enjoy.

Cross-country skiing – Lapland has an extensive network of cross-country skiing routes throughout the region offering over 300 kilometres of tracks to navigate across. Dotted along the route are small cafes in the most remote of places – perfect to stop and warm up before continuing your trek.

Snowmobiling – one of the most exhilarating experiences to have in Lapland. Traversing across the snow laden countryside on a snow mobile allowing you to see wonders beyond imagination. Speed across frozen lakes, navigate through forests or take your snowmobile off piste and see what fun you can have.

Snow shoe walks – walking up the side of a mountain with your guide as the stars shimmer above you in the clear northern skies. Why not take a seat on a reindeer hide and drink warm drinks around an open fire. This is the perfect opportunity to see the mysterious northern lights dance for you.

Reindeer Sleigh rides – whether you are young or old – this trip is suited for all ages. Wrapped up in a sleigh as the snow falls around you and you are driven by reindeer along the tracks. Nothing could be more enchanting for children and romantic for adults alike

Husky safaris – for those seeking something different this is an ideal excursion. Guiding your own team of huskies across the snow is both spectacular to witness as well as experience.

Icelandic Pony rides – these ponies are amazing animals and in addition to walk, trot and canter – they have another gait called Tolt. These ponies are powerful and when they tolt – you are sure to be smiling. As your trek through the forest on their back, watch the snowflakes glisten like diamonds against the sunny backdrop.

Ice fishing – this is an alternative experience. Watch as your guide cuts a hole in the snow and prepares your fishing line for you to cast in the hole. As you lie back on reindeer skins waiting for the fish to bite, take time to take in the breathtaking scenery and beauty which defines nature at its very best.
